Dcapo89 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Hey guys! I just recently finished up this little solo piano arrangement of Song of Healing from Majora's Mask and thought I would share it with you all. I realize this is an insanely popular piece for people to remix/cover, but it's such a special piece, but I think the tune is so malleable and it was fun to try and do something different with it. I originally had made something far more virtuosic and flashy but it didn't fit the intimate feel of the original. I instead opted for something more subdued and "pretty". I added a little intro and outro based on some of the original harmonic material and I think it works as a nice framing device for the piece. At first I keep the tune fairly traditional, but ended up gradually adding some of my own personal flourishes throughout. Hope you guys enjoy it. Let me know what you think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3NexJ5G1dg Ridiculously Garrett, Juke, Julien Mulard and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juke Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 This sounds beautiful, well done! This is one of the first pieces I learned on the piano, so it'll always bring back good memories. Your cover only made it sound more beautiful, so kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Mulard Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 A really beautiful arrangement, nicely interpreted, I like it! The intro, outro and variation are really adding to the piece, it's really nice! Dcapo89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souperion Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Ditto to what has already been said. Your arrangement captures a warm, smooth atmosphere, bringing to mind imagery of slowly shed tears, either of joy or sorrow. You simultaneously achieved a conservative yet interpretive approach, and I applaud it wholeheartedly. Dcapo89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcapo89 Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Apologies for the late reply. Thank you both so much for your kind comments and feedback. It means a great deal to me! I'm honored that you both enjoyed it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eladar Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I really enjoyed this rendition, Dcapo. It's restrained, but your chord choices and the varied speed/velocity of your playing are bringing a ton of emotion. I think your choice to avoid "flashy/virtuosic" was a very good one here. Touches like the quick little runs at 1:44 bring a playful yet somehow appropriate counterpoint to the melancholy mood. This to me mirrors the mood of Majora's Mask itself very nicely, which is a game that's at times deeply sad and at others more mischievous and light-hearted. I'm liking your explorations from 2:35 'till the end as well - the Ghibli-like quality mentioned by one of your Youtube commenters seems especially evident here. That's a good thing; I think Zelda and Ghibli music have a good amount in common and the styles go well together. This song has always elicited a strong emotional response from me, and I'd say your version here moves me at least as much as the original - perhaps even more. Thanks for sharing it!
